Now Bill and the 350 Move­ment are com­ing to Scot­land with the mes­sage: “If it’s wrong to wreck the cli­mate, then it’s wrong to prof­it from that wreck­age.”

This autumn, McK­ibben – will lead the Fos­sil Free Europe Tour. From Berlin to Ams­ter­dam – then to Edin­burgh on the 30th Octo­ber. As with pre­vi­ous sell-out tours in the USA and Aus­tralia, he will make the case for how the core busi­ness mod­el of the fos­sil fuel indus­try is destroy­ing our cli­mate, and pos­es the great­est threat human­i­ty has ever faced.

This won’t be a typ­i­cal lec­ture, but a mul­ti-media expe­ri­ence that will help gal­vanise the move­ment. McK­ibben will bring togeth­er, on stage and on video, an impres­sive group of social move­ment lead­ers, organ­is­ers, cli­mate sci­en­tists, and opin­ion lead­ers to make the case that divest­ing from fos­sil fuel com­pa­nies is not just moral­ly just, but eco­log­i­cal­ly and eco­nom­i­cal­ly smart. He will do so in col­lab­o­ra­tion with local move­ment lead­ers and live musi­cal per­for­mances from the ground-break­ing artist Filas­tine.
